You are correct. BUT, he has cyano bacteria which isn't an algae at all. So, to be honest, doesn't matter what his parameters are. Cyano forms in...
Huh, amcarrig? Didn't mean it to be taken that way, was at work and had to hurry. Sorry for any confusion. I thought he was kidding about the...
This is generally normal behavior for a feather duster but be warned that in small reefs or any reef tank for that matter, dusters have a hard time...
Please refer to this as skeleton. That is the *stony* part of the coral making it an LPS. Xenia have sort of a foot that they use to attach to...
WOW, did you actually say xenia? For one thing, xenia isn't a LPS (large polyp STONY) coral, second, I don't know what site you looked and it looks...
Oh yeah to answer your other question. Zoos would be a great addition. Mike
Small clams don't rely on light like clams 3"+ do. If you feed the clam every few days in a Phytoplankton dip, it might do well! But, as it gets...

Let us know your findings. Mike
Welcome!
At this point they are not worth it unless you just want to have the newest toy and love to blow out some serious cash. They are now available at a...
A fan blowing across the surface usually helps. There is this fan that is available at AquaticEco that has like four fans in it or something. My...
Well, I am not a new member, been around this forum for a long time but left some time back. Just figured I would stop by today and see how 3reef...
Yes, the old style rio's do suck BUT the SEIO pumps by Rio work very well. Well, is this water all traveling through your sump? Or this a closed...
Nah, I just needed a little kick in the pants. The problem is the tank, when I bought it, I figured it would be easy to light and it wouldn't take...
